[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Heading into this one, the Devils now rank 31st in the nation on 35 points per game, but will be challenged on Saturday as their 50th ranked defense matches up against the 19th-ranked Hokies who \u00a0currently sit atop the Coastal Division alongside unbeaten Miami.<\/p>\n Virginia Tech has won 12 straight over Duke and leads the all-time series 13-7.<\/p>\n And it’s not going to be easy for the Devils to move the ball against a stingy Hokies’ defense that has allowed just 15 points per game, on 256 yards per game and turnover margin with a plus-9 rating.<\/p>\n They will \u00a0face freshman cornerback Brandon Facyson who is tied for third in the nation with a conference-best four interceptions.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Duke’s defensive will be tested as they face a potent Hokies offense that once again came out on top of versus the Pittsburgh Panthers by a score of 19-9 at Lane Stadium their last time out.<\/p>\n Quarterback Logan Thomas completed 19-of-34 pass attempts for 239 yards and a first-quarter touchdown for the Hokies in the win. That touchdown marked Thomas’ 46th career touchdown, which means he now trails only Bryan Randall (48) and Maurice DeShazo (47) among the Hokies’ all-time leaders.<\/p>\n The Devils have enough talent to hang for a while in this one, but ultimately history will repeat itself, as the Hokies walk away with their 13th straight over the Devils and seventh straight win of 2013.<\/p>\n Virginia Tech 34, Duke 21<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Duke vs Va Tech NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping The Duke Blue Devils will look to disrupt Virginia Techs six-game winning streak on Saturday at Lane Stadium, dashing the Hokies’\u00a0 hopes for a sixth ACC Coastal Division title, after winning five of the last eight seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":978,"featured_media":65059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[2484,11176,2481,2482,37141,11177,60212,2480,2303],"class_list":["post-67777","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-blue-devils","tag-blue-devils-vs-hokies","tag-duke","tag-duke-blue-devils","tag-duke-blue-devils-vs-virginia-tech-hokies","tag-duke-vs-virginia-tech","tag-tech-hokies","tag-virginia","tag-virginia-tech-hokies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/978"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67777"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67777\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":67810,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67777\/revisions\/67810"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67777"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
